Chapter 39: She Accepted This Love
"This troublemaker, this damn woman..." He Taoxiu was so angry that she started to curse.
"Mom!" Deng Xiuzhen interrupted sternly. She couldn't bear to hear others scolding her daughter like that, even if it was her own mother.
"Deng Xiuzhen! Who is Deng Xiuzhen?" He Taoxiu was about to get angry when someone came over and called Deng Xiuzhen.
Deng Xiuzhen quickly went over and replied: "It's me, it's me."
"Go to the Economic Investigation Department. We have almost investigated your last incident clearly." The man said and left.
Deng Xiuzhen brought her family to the Economic Investigation Division, and Zhang Dongliang told her that the money from the store would not be returned, as the store belonged to someone else and had nothing to do with the person who sold it to her. So, she had lost the store and her money, and it would not be returned.
Deng Xiuzhen fainted. The family was in a panic, some calling for help, some patting her back, and some pinching her Ren Zhong.
Fortunately, I woke up quickly.
I cried as soon as I woke up, and I cried so hard that it hurt my heart and liver.
Zhang Dongliang's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he sighed: Such a good actor is really buried because he didn't go into acting.
Deng Xiumei and the others listened, not knowing whether to comfort or blame, and no one spoke for a long time.
He Taoxiu was experienced and had a lot of experience. She quickly adjusted her mood, got to the point, and asked about the cause of the incident.
Under He Taoxiu's repeated questioning, Deng Xiuzhen spilled the beans like a bamboo tube, saying that she was cheated out of money, had no money to do business, and could only open a diaper, but ended up injuring someone by opening a diaper and had to pay for it. Then she told him everything about Wen Jing's fight and the money she spent at the hospital.
Then she cried with snot and tears: Now my family is so poor that I can only afford to eat. I don’t know where the next meal will come from after I finish this one…
By the way, she asked He Taoxiu and Deng Xiumei: "Can you lend me some money?" and promised: as long as they help her through the difficult times, she will definitely pay her back when she makes a comeback.
He Taoxiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? Let us help you think of a solution."
Deng Xiuzhen's voice choked with sobs: "Mom, I'm not afraid that you will worry.
And the matter of buying the store has not yet come to a final conclusion. I was thinking, what if, what if I can get the money back?
Also, I was afraid that the villagers would laugh at me. So, that’s why I didn’t say anything.”
Deng Xiumei said, "How about I lend you some, but I really don't have much."
Deng Xiuzhen thanked him quickly, because she knew Deng Xiumei didn't have much money. Of course, she also knew she couldn't borrow the money.
After all, Deng Chunlin’s case has not been resolved yet.
Although money cannot solve Deng Chunlin's problem, He Taoxiu loves her son, so she will struggle no matter what.
Sure enough, as soon as Deng Xiumei finished speaking, He Taoxiu said, "Xiuzhen, it's not that mom doesn't love you, it's just that your brother needs money for this matter. You can just eat and wear less, but you can still make ends meet. It will be fine after a while.
But Chunlin’s case is not a good one. If we don’t find a solution in time, he might end up going to jail.
Xiumei’s money has to be used to find someone for Chunlin, so I can’t lend it to you.
Xiuzhen, go home and cook dinner, the kids should be home from school soon."
He Taoxiu pushed Deng Xiuzhen home. Deng Chunsheng also came to help and persuaded her to go home quickly.
Deng Xiumei looked at Deng Xiuzhen, then at He Taoxiu, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Deng Huaixian and Song Yuanxiang had not spoken until now and continued to remain silent.
Deng Xiuzhen walked away crying and looking back, looking reluctant and helpless.
Even He Taoxiu, who was always hard-hearted, felt a little sad.
Deng Xiumei was almost in tears.
After turning the corner, Deng Xiuzhen took a peek and found that her family had already been taken to the police station. She wiped away her tears with relief and went home to cook.
He reached into his pocket to take out paper, but took out 200 yuan.
Thinking of Chunsheng pushing her, she felt warm in her heart: her brother believed her and wanted to do his best to help her.
She accepted the favor.
Deng Xiuzhen no longer cared about Deng Chunlin's affairs.
It's not that she is cruel, but she knows that Deng Chunlin is a guy who doesn't know how to repent, and He Taoxiu is a person who has no bottom line in protecting her son.
In her previous life, she spent a lot of money on Deng Chunlin, and finally she realized that Deng Chunlin was hopeless.
And she later learned that He Taoxiu spent money to rescue Deng Chunlin. Although she spent money, she did not help Deng Chunlin. Because all she found were messy scammers who could not help Deng Chunlin at all.
In this life, Deng Xiuzhen had already figured it out: Not to mention that money couldn't solve the problem, Deng Chunlin just refused to repent, so would she be stupid enough to pay for his mistakes again and again?
She is not stupid and would not do such a stupid thing.
After Laba comes the New Year. Deng Xiuzhen always takes the New Year very seriously. At this time of year in previous years, she would definitely buy a pig.
When slaughtering the New Year pig, call all the brothers and sisters from your mother’s and husband’s families over. After everyone has eaten and drunk well, they can take some food home.
My mother-in-law and mother would give me more, and I would use the rest to prepare preserved food at home.
Living in the countryside, there is a special canteen with a stove made of old blue bricks. There are movable hooks on the stove and a row of hooks, which can be used to hang cured fish and meat on the stove for smoking.
The hook can be used to hang a kettle for boiling water or a hanging pot for cooking. You can build a tripod on the fire and put a pot on it to cook.
Roasting, cooking and smoking bacon are all done in one line.
By New Year's Eve, the bacon is smoked until it is translucent, and it looks good and tastes good.
This year, they went to the city and were cheated of money. Life in the city requires spending money everywhere. In addition, things happened one after another. They had to deal with things and work hard to make money. They almost forgot about the Chinese New Year.
When the family was having dinner together, Deng Xiuzhen mentioned the preparation of cured meat and cured fish.
When the three children heard that they were going to prepare cured meat and cured fish, they all looked at them with bright eyes, and Wen Yu even smacked his lips.
Tan Yanlin slapped his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory. I forgot such an important thing. I will buy one tomorrow..."
At this point he paused: This year is different from previous years. We can’t buy pigs and slaughter them for the New Year. We have to find another way.
Once we enter the city, it is impossible to smoke and preserve meat in our hometown.
Ask her parents for help. This year, Deng Chunlin went to jail. He Taoxiu would definitely jump up and down to raise money and rush to be deceived. Moreover, she would not listen to anyone and would think anyone who advised her was a bad person with a black heart and a rotten lung who wanted to harm her son.
Asking them to help smoke bacon and fish is just a way to get paid and scolded.
Husband's family? Husband's family is definitely not an option. Tan Yanlin has ten brothers and sisters. Only one brother served in the army and then worked in a neighboring county. Then there is Tan Yanlin who has been released. The rest are all in the village.
My sisters are fine, they are all married. Although they are not as protective of their parents' home as Deng Xiuzhen and Deng Xiumei were in their previous lives, they will never take things from their parents' home or take advantage of them. They will only take from their parents' home, it's just a matter of how much.
But my brothers all live nearby and we have many children. If I ask my husband's family to smoke the bacon and fish, I'm afraid not even a single pig hair or fish scale would be left.
Smoking cigarettes in the city? It’s not like some people smoke cigarettes at home.
However, it is best to smoke bacon slowly over a low fire every day. If you smoke it in a hurry, the bacon will only have color but not the aroma.
They had neither firewood nor place to smoke.
Deng Xiuzhen suddenly remembered that in her past life, people in the city would hire someone to smoke bacon, which meant buying the meat and paying someone to help with the pickling, smoking and roasting. She didn't know if there was such a thing now, but she could go and ask, maybe she could set a precedent.
